And that heavy rain seems to occur more often in Nederland than it does in other parts of the Triangle.

Just lucky I guess

Well PNG does a dance so it won't rain, and PA are Titans so they run with Greek Gods, then there is Nederland just getting rained on at bulldog stadium....

It does seem like those yard lines keep getting deeper and deeper every week of the season. They collect a lot of water during heavy rain. 

Watched Evadale scrimmage a 3A school last year.  Nice stadium, but the chalked yard lines looked like a two lane FM road they were so crooked

The dog poop gotta get washed away somehow right?

Question, I heard putting wood chips as a first layer under the turf will decrease the heat on the field by 50%.  I heard this was not done on Lumberton's field. The same person told me they measured the temp on the field at 130 degrees. 

Is there any truth to this?

That 130° sounds  about right.  Our  grounds  crew normally  waters  our tirf a few hours before kickoff  to try and cool it.

As of lately washing away feathers and blood from the district opponents

...so Nederland does what LC-M does...  Water the field before a fast opponent comes in the building...  So now, it's this and the secret spring practice and game...

Back in 99 SFA had a scrimmage there, lets just say it wasn't rain that caused the slips and splashes that evening cause it was cloudy, dry and hot. We were wondering wth was going on with both teams.

Just got word from a player they are practicing on the turf right now. Only thing left for it to be completely done is field goals and track 

[Silsbee92]

Was looking forward to watching this scrimmage on Lumberton's new turf.

Oh Well.....Home Field Advantage now.  lol.

Field is complete.  Track needs about 3-4 days of work but rain holding that up.  We will scrimmage HJ on the new Raider field tomorrow at 6:30pm.

Who?  The Titans?  Don't worry, we will spread some dirt on the field and wet it down real good before we play Memorial.

No, the person who is inquiring about the field. We been had turf and been playing opponents on it for years, no big deal our way, we thank yall for it, hate grass.
